Amazing that the "it saved lives" myth still persists....

Not a myth. Please do your homework on this.
-
The US picked Hiroshima, which hadn't been bombed yet, in large part to test the effectiveness of the new weapons.
-
A second target, Nagasaki, was chosen in large part to test a different kind of atomic bomb for comparison with the Hiroshima damage.
-
After Hiroshima & Nagasaki, after Japan had surrendered, Hap Arnold hastily formed a 1,000 plane bombing raid over Japan as a "grand finale"
-
This isn't consistent with the logic of "saving as many lives as possible."

I humbly submit for your thoughtful contemplation about the horror of war, including our own role in the horror:https://youtu.be/JYYxvAtNoX4

Controversy has surrounded the atomic bombings for decades; however, one fact remains: it was not a myth that lives were saved.

I get how some of us would rather have 500, 000 us boys killed invading Japan. Thanks to Japan's decision not to surrender we had no choice!

I think you are forgetting that you dropped not one but two nukes in Japan, and most important, they killed thousands of innocent people.
